Comments On Day[9] Story Time #4 - Graham's Number

Everyone In ...

everyone in comments is trying to make big numbers by taking graham's
number and doing silly things like multiplying it with itself, or raising
it to the power of itself. i think it really speaks to how hard this number
is to comprehend... since all you need to do to make a number that dwarfs
any of the made up numbers is to simply take g65. ﻿

I Studied ...

I studied engineering at the University of Washington. And for a Technical
Writing class I made a presentation on the Mandelbrot Set and its relation
to Julia Sets... My presentation may have been poor, but I thought it was
awesome until I looked up and saw everyone in the classroom was bored.
Talking later with other 4-year engineering students at a prestigious
university, not only did no one think Julia Sets were fascinating, no one
even knew what they were.﻿
